Basler Vision Technologies is now offering the full pylon Software Development Kit (SDK) for free. It can be downloaded from the Basler Website. “Free download via the web will replace all distribution methods we used in the past,” explains Werner Borchert, Product Manager at Basler Components. “We have constantly increased the speed and efficiency of our development cycle without losing any of pylon’s well-known high quality.” The Driver operates with all Basler GigE Vision and IEEE 1394 area scan and line scan cameras. The driver‘s full compatibility with the GenICam standard provides the benefit of a unified C++ camera API for both area and line scan cameras. Due to a generic design approach, the driver makes new camera features such as the I/O Debouncer or Auto- Exposure immediately accessible without the need for a software update.
